Q. How to detemine total page file size?
-->If you have 512MB of RAM then the Total paging files must be around 1.5 times of intalled RAM
so 512*1.5=768. if you have two partitions of hard disk excluding boot partition then you have
to scatter or move the paging files on the two partitions.Your total paging file size is 768MB
i.e. each partions must have 768/2=384MB of page files.So on each partitions you set the
initial and final size of Paging files 384.
You can also move paging files as 200Mb on one partition and rest
on another you can divide page files in any size just remember that the total page file size
must be at least 1.5 times of your RAM.

  • correct me if i'm wrong

    i go to the link u gave, and according to that link, dividing the pagefiles in two or more partition is useless (even can slower the paging performance) if we only have one physical harddisk. but from what i read in ur description, u suggested us to divide the pagefile to each partition? which one is right?

    • You are right

      memory.dmp is a file which contains the information about your system crash and is used to identify the problem or error due to which it occurred. if you leave a small amount of paging files on on your boot partition windows will create a dump file in case of any stop message. if you wish you leave a small part of paging files on boot partition .The stop messages are generally due to hardware conflict.
